The latest iteration of my biomaterial research is currently exhibited @craftvictoria in a group show titled ‘Alternative Provisions’, curated by @elizatiernan, featuring the works of @Ella_Saddington, James Walsh, @Frenchjessie @_NarelleWhite and Yu-Fang Chi. There will be a finissage on the final day, 2 - 4pm on Saturday, March 26, 2022. All welcome. Alternative Provisions presents the work of designers and makers expanding material practice as an act of making good. The exhibition explores how unexpected and under-utilised materials, driven by the notion of ‘reuse’, are developed and used in interesting ways by today’s makers. The exhibitors each forage for their material, whether organic matter or discarded waste product, to create works that offer production alternatives, as well as a means to tell new stories. By joining these makers in their search for more mindful provisions, we are lead to re-evaluate how we engage with materials for production and the potential presented by seeking conscious alternatives. Presented as part of @ngvmelbourne Design Week, Alternative Provisions joins the broader conversation on the environmental implications of human presence and the revaluation of our actions. Let’s make good on our responsibilities to the environment through creative innovation.
